Help! I cannot connect to the PhotoPost database. [$php_errormsg]

[pharry]

If I change my admin password through the admin panel, I get "I cannot connect to the PhotoPost database. [$php_errormsg]". I had to go into the config file and change it back to the old password. But I need to change the password - how do I do this successfully?

You need to change your admin password through your members profile. I beleive what you are changing is your mysql database password which is NOT your admin password for your user login. You do not want to change anything in EDIT CONFIG in admin as that will break your install.
